Are Raised Panel Doors Out Of Style?

Raised panel doors have been popular for traditional or classic home designs for many years. However, like any trend, design styles can change over time. You’ll hear both sides of the matter argued among interior designers and real estate agents. The competition that raised panel doors most often fights with shaker-style doors. Shaker-style doors are a bit less formal, giving the kitchen a timeless and elegant simplicity. They are typically a little bit cheaper too. The raised panel cabinetry can appear a little more formal or traditional, appearing more dated than slab or shaker styles. But it may be perfectly appropriate if that motif works throughout the rest of the house’s aesthetic.
